GTI MEDICAL CAPABILITIES

Fiber Optic Components

At GTI Medical, we provide a range of advanced coating and manufacturing technologies for the production of optical and electronic components.

Among our offerings are silver and gold plating, fiber-optic manufacturing and assembly, electronic component manufacturing, and depositing optical dielectric coatings for hollow CO2 fiber optics. These services allow us to meet the diverse needs of industries that rely on high-precision optics, including medical device manufacturers and other high-tech sectors.

Silver and gold plating

GTI offers silver and gold plating solutions, which are essential for components that require excellent electrical conductivity, reflectivity, and corrosion resistance. Gold plating is commonly used in applications where components need to maintain conductivity in environments prone to corrosion, such as in electronic connections. Silver plating is often applied to improve thermal and electrical conductivity, making it ideal for electronic and fiber optic components. By utilizing these precious metals, GTI enhances the longevity, performance, and reliability of components, particularly in high-demand applications.

Fiber-optic manufacturing and assembly

GTI’s expertise in fiber optic technology enables it to produce and assemble components that meet precise specifications. Our fiber-optic manufacturing services are engineered for applications that require high signal integrity and low loss, producing both standard and custom fiber-optic components that deliver excellent optical performance and durability, supporting industries such as medical devices and surgical tools. Through advanced assembly techniques, each fiber optic component is built to achieve optimal transmission efficiency and meet stringent quality standards.

Optical dielectric coating for hollow CO2 fiber optics

One of GTI’s most specialized offerings is the deposition of optical dielectric coatings for hollow CO2 fiber optics, a process known as iodination. This advanced coating process is essential for applications requiring precise light transmission with minimal loss. By applying a dielectric layer inside the hollow fiber optic, GTI enables high-power laser transmission with nearly pure mode delivery. This technology offers several key benefits:

1

Low-loss transmission

The optical dielectric coating minimizes transmission losses by reducing reflection and scattering, allowing for efficient and effective light propagation over longer distances.

2

High-power laser compatibility

The robust dielectric layer can handle high laser power levels, making it suitable for demanding applications in the medical and industrial fields. This capability is essential for procedures and processes that rely on high-power CO2 lasers, such as surgical treatments and material processing.

3

Flexible and robust waveguide

  1. By designing the dielectric layer’s thickness and composition, GTI creates a waveguide with these properties. This flexibility allows for versatile applications in various settings, as the coated fiber optic can navigate through complex pathways while maintaining consistent optical quality.
4

Optimized mode delivery

The precision of the dielectric layer design allows for nearly pure mode delivery. This means that the laser output remains well-collimated and stable, ensuring accuracy and control during applications that demand precision, such as laser-based medical procedures.

GTI’s optical dielectric coating process results in high-powered laser devices with enhanced efficiency and reliability, critical for use in medical devices and other advanced applications. By working closely with clients, GTI tailors each coating to meet specific requirements, whether for medical or other specialized R&D uses.
